UAF is the land, sea and space grant university and a Doctoral/Research University-Intensive. The UAF Graduate School offers 51 Master's and 15 Ph.D. degree programs, serving 750 degree-seeking graduate students from all 50 states and foreign countries.

Graduate students may enter one of two programs: the master of Civil Engineering is for those whose goal is broad professional practice. Those whose interests or background favor a specialized program, with emphasis on research and/or advanced specialized study, will ordinarily select the master of science degree.

In addition to general Civil Engineering courses, specialties are available in transportation, geotechnical, structures, water resources, hydrology and environmental studies. These courses emphasize principles of analysis, planning and engineering design in northern regions.

A master's degree program can include courses in Environmental Engineering, Engineering Management and other areas. An advanced degree in Environmental Engineering administered within the Civil Engineering Department is available.
